houstonmacbro Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hated her because she was old? Crazy? Or just didn't like her?No, seriously, I never heard that story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millennica Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 (edited) Capitals have been moved before. I mean, Rio used to be the capital of Brazil, but now it's moved to Brazilia. I say let's move the capital to someplace cool ... like ... Corpus Christi.Why not ? California has had several capitals. Under Spanish and Mexican rule it was Monterey. Then between 1849 and 1854-- San Jose, Vallejo, Benicia, and since 1854 Sacramento, called Sacratomato by SF Bay Area types.
